The distillery is based in Gig Harbor, Wash., but is partnering with Spokane County Firefighters Pipes and Drums to raise money for the corps to travel to and perform at funerals for fallen firefighters. The distillery’s owner and operator, Justin Stiefel, grew up in Spokane.

“Even though I live on the West Side of the state right now I still consider myself a Spokane boy,” he said.

The downtown parade – sponsored by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick – starts at noon Saturday. By 1 p.m., the pub crawl begins at Lucky’s Irish Pub, 408 W. Sprague Ave. From there, Pipes and Drums heads to the Satellite Diner, Blind Buck and O’Doherty’s Irish Grille in downtown before moving on to the Spokane Valley to visit the other O’Doherty’s location, Iron Horse Bar and Grill, and Scotty’s Sullivan Scoreboard. After that, by about 6:30 p.m., Pipes and Drums hits Birdy’s Sports Bar on the North Side.

Stiefel and his wife, Jennifer, plan to participate in the parade and be at each bar during the pub crawl.

The Coeur d’Alene store is open Monday through Saturday from 8:56 a.m. to 8:04 p.m. Sunday hours are 9:56 a.m. to 7:06 p.m. (Those aren’t typos. As its website reads, “Customers are welcome to come a little early and to stay a little late.”)

Be sure to bring your own bags; the store doesn’t offer paper or plastic, but will pack your groceries in recycled boxes if you forget. It also sells reusable bags.
